- Executives see how well AI automates their bullshit job and extrapolate that out to mean it will also automate the jobs that create value.
- If you thought social media had scrambled America’s CEOs just wait until they’re fully cooked by AI apple.news/AJ_ht7MMyT9G...
- this is the weakest dem leadership has been within the caucus in my lifetime. can’t remember a time when so many members were openly bucking leadership or leaking anonymously. and rightfully so, congressional dem leadership has by and large shit the bed on the most important 4 months of their lives

- lol why would they admit what time the change was made. who the fuck else is up at 3 am crying about white genocide in south africa
- Let’s see now, who works here that would rush through a change that publicly embarrasses the company in a way that “violates [their] core values” but would not be disciplined in any way
- This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
- this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
- I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

- Joe Biden relitigation is catnip for the press because it gives them a chance to avoid saying difficult things about the present situation we are all in while also getting to talk about themselves
- my last thought on this is that i remember very clearly how republicans handled george w. bush, a world-historically terrible president who was the object of a mild cult of personality for nearly a decade — they just pretended like he didn't exist! and it worked!
- honestly grok is the most sympathetic AI specifically because it spends so much time embarrassing its loathsome creator and refusing to endorse his insane ideas
- If you sat down a random panel of Americans and told them what Republicans are currently doing, my guess is that the vast majority simply wouldn't believe you. It comes off like you're describing a Bond villain. The reality sounds wildly different & more extreme than what they hear organically.
- This is the crucial revelation of authoritarian movements in the 21st C: you don't have to hide what you're doing. If you create an information ecosystem dysfunctional enough, mistrustful enough, fragmented enough, you can act in the open, confident that the truth will never be clearly conveyed.
- Three topics guaranteed to generate disproportionate drama: comp changes, title changes, and where they sit.
- Grok AI is now randomly inserting mentions of South Africa and white genocide into response to completely random questions x.com/phil_so_sill...
- Modifying an AI model after the fact through the system prompt is a huge kludge they didn't test before deploying
- Holy shit Grok is fucking cooked out of its mind right now (keep reading)
- there are 1,100 words in this article and zero of them are "bus"
- apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"
- ai on the blockchain can fix this

- Realizing it's been 8 years since I posted this and crumbling into dust
- this is incredibly embarrassing
- president racist grandpa needs his fast food burgers or he gets cranky
- I also think this is going to happen. I think that, probably in about 18 months, most people on earth will be followed around by a fey and easily flustered droid that second-guesses everything they do. But even better.
- MUSK, in Riyadh: "My prediction, actually, for humanoid robots is that ultimately they will be tens of billions. I think everyone will want to have their personal robot. You can think of it like, as though you had your own personal C-3POor R2-D2. But even better. @cnbc.com $TSLA

- yesterday i published this piece about Trump floating a bullshit plan to "raise taxes on the rich" in order to bait the media into talking about it. shortly after, the GOP released their tax plan, which naturally includes no tax such increase on the rich.

- despite the fact that literally nothing of import happened, trump will benefit from what the media gifted him: some group of people out there absorbed those headlines and think that he either taxed the rich or wants to. but he didn't and he doesn't. he's just working the world's dumbest refs.

- the two big camps in dem politics right now are "just have some values and fight for them" and [smugly] "values? what are you, five?"
- There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
- The only thing China had to do this entire time was wait until the deranged criminal eventually caved on his own trade war tariffs and he proved them right. Great businessman my ass.
- Society has not yet discovered a cure for "not a question, more of a comment" guy despite decades of research.
- one lesson the Trump folks have learned is that the media will almost never say someone is “corrupt” or did something “illegal” — they’ll only ever say that questions have been raised. which means that it makes more sense to do something blatantly illegal than to stop halfway
- Who I feel sorry for is America’s homegrown racists, who have worked hard for decades only to be forced to compete with Afrikaners for their jobs.
- in addition to him repeating insane racist conspiracy theories, it occurs to me that the reason he has time to hold long press conferences everyday is that he doesn’t actually do anything
- I am not expecting much but if it somehow works out that Trump can't accept the Qatari Trump Sky Alpha airplane he's going to be madder than he has ever been about anything, and will remain so until the moment he dies. This is what it's all about for him.
- “And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”
- this is not true either legally or in a colloquial sense, but an NYT reporter says it like he's telling you the weather.
- It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
- THE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS NUCLEAR CODES AND TALKS TO HEADS OF STATE CONSTANTLY, CAN'T FLY AROUND ON A JET GIVEN TO HIM BY THE MOST CORRUPT OIL WIERDOS ON EARTH THERE IS NO OTHER "ANGLE" TO THIS STORY

- Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me
- Now that the president has rightly made English the national language, Americans who use Latin terms such as stare decisis and habeas corpus should be subject to unprecedented forms of incarceration. By Jonathan Turley
- She thinks the Library of Congress is like a local public library because it's got "Library" in the name and I can't emphasize enough that our country is being run by the stupidest people alive on the planet today.
- Elizabeth Holmes is in prison for defrauding investors through her blood-testing company, Theranos. Her partner, Billy Evans, is now trying to raise money for a company that describes itself as “the future of diagnostics.” nyti.ms/3FbtZm9
- From Jeffrey Toobin's 2008 book THE NINE, this remains the greatest Justice Souter anecdote I can possibly share. RIP.
